ENHANCING MATH PROFICIENCY OF GRADE 6 USING KHAN ACADEMY'S VIDEO LESSONS

This action research aimed into enhancing math proficiency of grade 6 using Khan Academy’s video lessons, exposing its effectiveness and insights of the respondents. The study utilized quasi-experimental research under quantitative method of research design. A total of 30 students were identified and utilized as sample size to this study and seven of them were chosen to answer questions about their insights to the intervention. There were 3 phases in the procedure: a pre-test assessing the baseline skills using the questionnaire from Khan Academy, implementation of Khan Academy’s Video Lesson, and post-test to evaluate the outcome. Results revealed a significant improvement in enhancing math proficiency, with an average score increasing from 37.33% to 84.5% after the intervention, showing a statistically significant difference, t(29)=14.5, p<.001, and a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.64). To enrich the quantitative findings, the reseachers conducted interviews with selected students, revealed that Khan Academy’s video lessons enhanced proficiency in mathematics through using video lessons, access to simplified explanations in mathematics videos, change in perception toward mathematics, increased motivation to solve math problems, enhanced confidence through the use of video lessons, and learners also said their suggestions for independent use of video lessons. Thus, the study concluded that the intervention is effective to enhance math proficiency of grade 6 students. Moreover, it can be utilized in the classroom as teaching aid.
